Fleet Away

Fleet away!

We fleeted the time carelessly
We fleeted the time carelessly 

I had a long wait,
A fretful heart and a dance troupe.
And I sauntered into the room.
For a fleeting moment,
I saw the face of a boy.
By now, my time consumed by wanderlust.
In the choice of lust and love,
I scruple of prudence is worth a pound of passion.

For a split second...
The girl has caught your eye!
And her gestures eavesdropping his ears.

They fling for more coffees
Not breed to encased themselves in linen 
By now, their time consumed by wanderlust

'Only they knew everything was ephemeral'
'And the cessation of time scribbled'

We fleeted the time carelessly
We fleeted the time carelessly
